My friend and I are arguing over whos pc is better

VesperT01 · Nov 27, 2014

I have an i7 4790k and a gtx 970 and 16GB of ram, while he has a i7 3770s and dual gtx 760 ti's and 12 GB of ram, whats your opinion and which build would you guys rather have?

Yours, no questions asked.
1) SLI still has a few problems with games. And yours is so much more efficient. Also, it's more powerful.
2) Your CPU is more efficient and ready for upgrade.

Better at what? Cpu diff is irrelevant for games. His sli should beat your single card in many games but with more power draw and maybe noise. If he's running 12gb thats just jacked in a dual channel system but your 16gb doesnt buy any advantage over 8gb for gaming. So... It depends.

I've tried sli, and i've seen no better if not worse performance.

1) It's more efficient, and about 100% better OC. So the i7-4790K is better than a i7-3770S.
2) SLI has problems in games.

VesperT01 :

sli is better (depends on which card though) but can be problematic depending on the game. and of course draws more power and generates more heat.

why don't you just play same games using the same settings then compare fps

VesperT01 · Nov 28, 2014

Because he's stubborn and sense he has 2 video cards his is automatically better.

He clams he gets an additional 70-100 fps on advanced warfare, Which if hes running max settings, id be surprised if he'd even get that many fps.

1) Single is better compatibility and efficiency. Although SLI is better at times when a card better is way more expensive, like 2 780 and a Titan Z, 2 760 does not get better than 1 970. Plus, assume SLI is 2/3 the performance 2 of the cards. The 2 760 will be, in PassMark, 6765, estimated, while the 970 scores 8701.

2) The only thing he hasn't said was what setting he's running on.

try a game that is poorly optimized for sli, see what happens

1) stop arguing over pointless stuff!

2) his computer has a better set up for multi monitor gaming

3) your build is more power efficient with better processing power

4) it depends on cooling temperatures and clock speeds too!

5) be grateful with it and don't be jealous of eachother

get a better keyboard (mechanical)

Cons29 :

Haha! I have a mech keyboard, never going to look back! I also have metal keycaps!

Cons29 · Dec 1, 2014

just play a game see who's better, or play coop instead

-HH- · Dec 1, 2014

Cons29 :

I reckon there'd be like 2-5 fps in it anyway tbh...
